Career Transitions and the Art of Networking S5 I Ep 6

In this episode, we unpack one of the most talked-about topics in career transitions: networking—and how to do it authentically.

Whether you're a seasoned executive or exploring a new path, building meaningful connections can be a game-changer. But how do we move beyond transactional handshakes and LinkedIn connections to relationships that truly support and shape our careers?

Vanessa T and Vanessa I share personal stories, practical tips, and candid reflections on:

• Why networking is more than just a numbers game
• How to reach out in small but meaningful ways
• What a strong, diverse network looks and feels like
• Common pitfalls to avoid (hint: don't wait till you need something!)
• Why introverts often make the best networkers

💡 One of our favourite takeaways? Networking is about being intentional and valuing diversity—in backgrounds, viewpoints, and experiences.

Whether you're rekindling old connections or starting new ones, this episode will leave you inspired to build your network with purpose and heart.
